Amazon, De Beers partner to grow artificial diamonds for quantum networking
(www.verdict.co.uk)https://www.verdict.co.uk/amazon-diamond-quantum-networking/Amazon has forged a new research collaboration with a unit of mining company De Beers Group, to develop artificial diamonds for quantum networking.
Under the partnership, De Beers’ Element Six will be working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) Centre for quantum networking.
Quantum networks use quantum repeaters that allow the transfer of quantum information over long distances, without compromising the quality of data.
The diamonds will be used in the quantum repeaters that function as amplifiers.
AWS, which provides cloud computing services, could eventually end up using the technology in its networks.
did you catch that magic number?
